NBL EXPERIENCE

Dom Kelman-Poto made his NBL debut with the New Zealand Breakers at 23 years of age. He went scoreless in his first NBL game.

In 2018, the Breakers underwent a significant transformation with a new ownership regime. A consortium led by former NBA player Matt Walsh acquired majority ownership through Breakers Basketball Ltd, ending Liz and Paul Blackwell’s 13-year tenure as owners. The off-season also marked the departure of several franchise stalwarts. Paul Henare concluded his 15-year association as a player and coach, while New Zealand’s all-time leading scorer Kirk Penney retired. Alex Pledger joined Melbourne, Mika Vukona moved to Brisbane, and young talent Robert Loe signed with Cairns.

Thomas Abercrombie was elevated to captain in the absence of Vukona, while Kevin Braswell, a former Breakers player, was appointed as head coach. Braswell faced the challenging task of rebuilding the roster. Tai Wesley returned to the team from Melbourne, and Corey Webster signed a three-year deal after a stint in Europe. The team also added Jarrad Weeks (via Cairns) and Majok Majok (via Melbourne) to the local roster. For their import players, the Breakers signed Patrick Richard, Armani Moore, and Shawn Long.

Dom Kelman-Poto joined the Breakers as a development player and made a single appearance during the season. In his limited minutes on January 5, 2019, against Perth, he did not register any stats but gained valuable experience by training and competing alongside seasoned professionals.

The Breakers struggled for consistency during the season. By January, they had fallen to the bottom of the ladder with an 8-12 record after three consecutive losses, including a defeat to last-placed Cairns. Despite efforts to turn their season around, the Breakers finished with a 12-16 record, placing sixth and missing the playoffs.

2023/24
Dom Kelman-Poto once again served as a development player for the New Zealand Breakers during the 2023-24 season. While his opportunities on the court were limited to just one game, his involvement underscored the Breakers’ commitment to developing young talent. The team focused on solidifying their roster by retaining key players like William McDowell-White and Thomas Abercrombie, while adding impactful new signings such as Parker Jackson-Cartwright and Zylan Cheatham. Although Kelman-Poto did not make a statistical impact in his lone appearance, his inclusion in the squad highlighted the Breakers’ long-term approach to fostering emerging players for future success.

Dom Kelman-Poto played two seasons the New Zealand Breakers. He averaged 1.5 points, 0 rebounds, and 0 assists in 2 NBL games.
